So would it be a no no to put ghost flames on my 95 sho? Yesterday I saw the new Jeff Gorden monte special edition and the silver ghost flames on the blue monte looked so cool. Is it to ricer? I would want it to be sublte.........

its midnight blue. Not sure on the ghost color yet. I am seriously thinkin of doing it. Would have done it the other day I was heading to a custom paint shop when my Sho died on the expressway. After what its going to cost me it may be a while till I get the approval from the head of the treasury again...... (Got to luv wives huh) In the last week I have put on a new alt, rear brakes, 4 new tires, camshaft sensor, constant control module, ignition control module, and 2 new flowmaster mufflers. At 2k so far and counting

Have you had a look at the so called ghost flames up close ?

I work at a Chevy dealership and there are 2 of them here and they are nothing but vinyl stickers, it is another of GM's thoughtless designs.

I am not telling you to not do the ghost flames, I think real ghost flames done right look good on just about anything. The Jeff Gordon Monte in my opinion is not something I would ever, EVER compare any SHO against.

not comparing my sho to it at all... I like the flame design. I will be taking it to cincinnati's best custom paint shop.
Gm has great ideas but never gets them to the showroom floor right. My wife wanted a new ws6 trans amm last year. She like the anniversary one she saw on the net. When we got to a dealership to see one it was done in cheap cheap vinyl. Not even a vinyl as good as you see on tuner cars!!!!

Witch City, baby! Salem,
The flames would look good if done right.

But man, what a piece of **** that Monte is...if I won it, I'd sell immediately for some SHO mods... cheers

I have been planning this for over 18 months. I just have been to chicken to alter my sho. Everyone comments on how the blue is. People cant believe its a 1995 and still look so good. I would hate to screw it up. I am going to the paint shop weds morning to me with the master in our area.
Still not sure when though I have spent 2000 on her in the last week. Tires, brakes, camshaft sensor, altinator, ignition control module, ccrm module, and new flowmasters.

Well I got my estimate from the paint shop. 1200 for the flames. 259 for my carbon fiber dash. I am going to have to save a while but I am gonna do it I think. We talked about very light see through silver flames starting just off the hood to the doors. His photoshop pics looked awesome.
This guy is great too. His cars have been in many mags. His carbon fiber dash kit installed was less money that some of the kits I have seen online. I ordered the dash...... He says 3 weeks to come in
